Nai Thon Beach

Nai Thon Beach is at the north west of Phuket Island, stretched along the waterline for a few 100 meters with pine trees as backdrop.

As you can see on the pictures Nai Thon Beach is lined with coniferous trees.

Its near to the airport and quite far to Patong and Phuket Town, both are about 30 km to the the south. There are some small villages around and developments of hotels and apartments are under way.

Nai Thon Beach is rather low developed since there are several hills in between the main north-south highway of Phuket Island and also at the beach between the beach and behind the road, its quite narrow.

On the other side it means seclusion and this also has a value in Phuket considering that in the moment -2009- Phuket Island is continuously covered with concrete at a alarming rate. In this last 1 year there were more housing developments on Phuket Island than in the last 20 years before all together. Its unbelievable what  they are doing, its a frenzy from north to south.

The problem is the people who fuel this -mainly the banks- have no sensitivity when enough is enough, they just keep on doing it to pour concrete on almost every space left until the people are fed up with the concrete landscape and tourists will disappear.

Ok, they don't pave Nai Thon Beach since its still to much off the usual tourist track, but with the speed the banks are going, the destruction is unavoidable.Nai Thon Beach is quiet, slow motion, no tourist, clean environment, but heavy construction is on. A beautiful tranquil Thai Beach on Phuket Island at the west coast.
